any idea on how to change the light bulb on the side near the rear end of a mazda 626?

Answer 1

i own a shop and if you raise the trunk and remove that panel ,you can see the side marker light this way if its the one on the main light its self you might be able to get to it like this other wise sometimes you have to remove the tail light assembly to get to the side one,good luck i hope this helps.

I not sure, but, if the lens not screw off from the outside. Look in the Trunk and you will see. You may have to pull the Carpet/Insulation back. Many bulb holders will just turn counterclockwise and come out and then replace the bulb. Just do not force anything and you will figure it out.
